Chapter 488 I Don’t Love Him Anymore
After saying the words "I don't love you anymore", Su Man did not feel the pain and reluctance as she had imagined, but more relief and liberation.
Perhaps she had stopped loving him a long, long time ago.
"Rhetoric, I'm really tired."
Ji Xiuci's lips trembled, and his face showed despair: "How come you have been pretending to love me for so many years?"
Seeing her calm expression, his heart felt like being weighed down by an invisible stone. He felt depressed. The sweet or bitter scenes from the past kept appearing in front of his eyes, like sharp threads pulling at him, making him breathless with pain.
Why don’t you love me anymore?
How can I not love you?
"I'm sorry, Xiuci." Su Man made up her mind to leave the Ji family, "Let's part ways in peace."
"Let's part ways in peace?" Ji Xiuci's eyes flashed with madness, "Manman, do you think I will let you go?"
After he finished speaking, the bodyguards locked all the courtyard doors and front doors of the Ji family's house, and even closed the windows tightly. There were two strong bodyguards guarding each door and window.
Su Man couldn't escape even if she had wings.
Seeing this, Su Man looked at him coldly: "Ji Xiuci, are you trying to imprison me?"
"Imprisonment? How is this imprisonment? Manman, I just don't want you to leave me."
As he spoke, Ji Xiuci tightly grasped Su Man's shoulders, as if as long as he held her, she would never leave him.
Ji Xiuci smiled gently and coaxed, "As long as you behave and love me like before, I will give you freedom. Manman, let's love each other like we did in college, okay?"
He acted like nothing had happened.
But Suman knew that all this was just an illusion.
The gap between them cannot be eliminated. He can be so tender and affectionate at this moment, but he will start to go crazy again before long.
For more than ten years, she had given him chances again and again, and was already exhausted both physically and mentally.
In fact, how is this man in front of me any better than Gu Sinan? He is even more paranoid and terrifying than Gu Sinan.
Gu Sinan tortured her body, and he tortured her heart.
"Ji Xiuci, what's the difference between what you did and what Gu Sinan did back then? Do you think I will fall in love with you again?"
"Never!"
The last sentence seemed to have severely irritated Ji Xiuci's nerves. He took off his gentle disguise, his eyes were red, and his face was distorted.
He roared, "How am I inferior to Gu Sinan? You have been thinking about him for so many years!"
"We just met once abroad, and you want to go back to him regardless of everything! You have such a cruel heart!" Ji Xiuci was furious, but he couldn't bear to hit Su Man, so he had to beat and smash things in the living room.
Su Man stood by in silence, watching him destroy their former home like a madman.
Finally, he got tired and stood there, scratching his hand, with blood dripping from his fingertips onto the ground.
"Tick-tock. Tick-tock."
Blood stained the ground.
He was like a devil crawling out of hell, with a terrifying and bloodthirsty aura all over his body.
The butler, bodyguards, and servants, no one dared to step forward to help him bandage the wound.
Su Man broke the silence: "It is because of you that we can't go on."
He was always so fickle, either having a cold war or quarreling with her. The sweet times were so fake and pitiful. He always suspected that she was still thinking about Gu Sinan and never gave her an ounce of trust.
Ji Xiuci raised his hand, and two bodyguards escorted a servant out.
It was the servant that Suman brought from her mother's home - Wu Ma.
Ji Xiuci had no scruples about Wu Ma. Fearing that she would inform Su Man, he ordered people to tie her hands and stuff a cloth strip in her mouth. He kept her locked up for a day and a night.
Mother Wu is nearly sixty years old. After all this ordeal, she has become much more haggard and looks listless.
After seeing her own wife, Wu Ma's eyes brightened up a little.
The bodyguard pulled the cloth out of her mouth.
"Madam." Aunt Wu burst into tears. She had long known that Ji Xiuci was suspicious and moody by nature, and was not someone worthy of entrusting one's life to. It was a pity that he would not listen to anything the lady said.
Now that the sheep has fallen into the tiger's mouth, what should we do?
"Auntie Wu." Su Man was about to run to Auntie Wu, but was stopped by Ji Xiuci.
Su Man glared at him: "Ji Xiuci, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
"Manman, don't you care about Wu Ma's life or death?" Ji Xiuci knew that she had a good relationship with Wu Ma. Unfortunately, he and Su Man had no children, so he could only use a servant to threaten her.
"Auntie Wu watched you grow up."
Wu Ma desperately shouted, "Madam, leave me alone and leave!"
Before she could finish her words, the bodyguard picked up the strip of cloth on the ground and stuffed it into her mouth again.
Auntie Wu was in tears. Her wife had such a miserable life. Both men in her life were mentally ill. It took them a lot of effort to wake up. But she must not sacrifice her life for her.
"Ji Xiuci, you!" Su Man gritted her teeth in hatred. She never expected Ji Xiuci to be so despicable.
Su Man couldn't help but think of Gu Sinan. During her imprisonment, he took good care of her parents and never thought of using anyone to force her to stay. Even if she wanted to leave, he would just kneel down humbly and beg her not to go.
Why did she think Ji Xiuci was better than Gu Sinan before?
Ji Xiuci thought Su Man was wavering, so he continued to coax her, "Man Man, stay? We can still be the same as before, and Aunt Wu can spend her old age in the Ji family."
However, Suman couldn't stay by his side like before.
She knew that the relationship between them had been completely broken and could never be restored.
"Ji Xiuci, I have promised Yanchuan that I will pick him up from the hospital."
The smile on Ji Xiuci's face paused for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"If Yanchuan can't contact me by then, he will definitely call the police." Su Man turned to look at Ji Xiuci, "Ji Xiuci, are you going to go against the Gu family?"
Hearing this, Ji Xiuci laughed like crazy, in a creepy way. I don't know how long it took, he sat dejectedly on a chair beside him, his hands on his knees. The wound on his hand had stopped bleeding, but his heart felt like there was a big hole in it.
"That's how I brought you out of the Gu family more than ten years ago."
Su Man said nothing. Ji Xiuci had said something similar to Gu Sinan before, asking him if he wanted to go against the Ji family. With the help of Ji Xiuci, she filed for divorce and Gu Sinan had to let her go.
When she left with Ji Xiuci, she thought that they could grow old together.
But a relationship that has come together after going through hardships may not last until the end.
"Sorry, rhetoric."
Ji Xiuci lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Man knew that with the Gu family around, her chances of leaving were much better. She walked up to Wu Ma and said coldly to the two bodyguards, "Let her go."
